Heritage Properties Database

The Woodstock Heritage Property Inventory is a searchable database of architectural, historical information and photos of properties in the older section of Woodstock, Ontario. Woodstock City Council approved the project of making this data accessible online in 2014. The project is under the direction of the Woodstock Heritage Advisory Committee. The Woodstock Heritage Advisory Committee is a volunteer committee appointed by Woodstock City Council to provide advice on identifying, conserving and promoting built heritage resources within the city. Earlier research done by the Committee in the 1980's and 90's and new research is used to broaden the function of this inventory which will be accessible on the City of Woodstock's website.

Navigating the Records

The database has been uploaded into a program called Google Fusion Table which maps the properties on Google Maps. The properties are marked with a red Location Indicator or green if they are designated.

Find the property that you wish to view on the map and Click on the Location Indicator to show the property record with photo. Use the "X" in the top right to close the property record.

To look for a specific address, Click on the blue Filter button (upper left corner of the map) to show a drop down of the records information headings. Click on Address in the drop down and type the address of the property you wish to find in the box, then Click Find. Only the Location Indicator of the address you selected will appear on the map, unless that address is not part of that database then none will display. You can also type in a street name into the box and it will only display the Location Indicator's listed on that street.

There is also a Sort function above the Find button, which can be accessed by clicking the 3 vertical lines.

To close the filter and reset the map, use the "X" above the Find button.

Property Images

Each heritage property record will contain one image of the property. The images are low quality and some images will be better than others. Copyright of all Images belong to the City of Woodstock.
